## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Changes things (2)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `compile`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Compile source code and return assembly output, stdout, and stderr
```

### `generate_short_url`

- The name "generate_short_url" says "generate": a word for a change.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Create a Compiler Explorer short URL for sharing code with compiler settings
```

## Only reads (5)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `get_shortlink_info`

- The name "get_shortlink_info" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Retrieve source and compiler config from a CE short URL. Compiler entries are returned in the `compile` tool's shape ({compiler, options, libraries:[{id, version}]}). Multi-pane shortlinks (executors, conformance views, CMake trees, per-compiler filters/tools) are flattened — only the basic compile inputs survive.
```

### `list_compilers`

- The name "list_compilers" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List available compilers, optionally filtered by language
```

### `list_languages`

- The name "list_languages" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List supported languages. Each entry has `defaultCompiler` and `compilerCount`.
```

### `list_libraries`

- The name "list_libraries" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
List available libraries for a given programming language
```

### `lookup_asm_instruction`

- The name "lookup_asm_instruction" says "lookup": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Look up documentation for an assembly instruction
```
